After using a PC for longer than I care to admit I am once again considering a switch to a Mac. To be honest, it is Parallels (specifically Parallels Coherence) that is pushing me towards a Mac.
Anyway, I prefer the small size of the Macbook, but the weight of the Macbook Pro is similar... and I'm torn. So, for the "switchers" that are familiar with both models:
* Which one is easier to type on?
* Which runs hotter?
* What's the battery life difference between the two?
* Do the Macbooks still have that "hard edge" problem (wrists getting hurt on the wristpad)?
* Any other known problems? (on either machine?)
* Other than game playing (which I don't do) and a backlit keyboard (not sure I'd make use of it) are there any compelling reasons to buy one over the other?
I've got other questions as well... but this should help prepare me before visiting the local Apple store for a hands-on comparison.
Thanks for the help!
